Conference Hotels MilwaukeeSpecial OAH/NCPH meeting-only rates are available at two downtown hotels, the Hilton Milwaukee City Center and the Hyatt Regency Milwaukee. Both hotels are connected to the Frontier Airlines Center, where the Exhibit Hall and the majority of the convention sessions are scheduled. Most meals and receptions will be held in the Hilton, which is a classic art deco hotel built in 1927.  Staying at the conference hotels is convenient and provides a great opportunity for additional networking. Both hotels are located in the center of downtown with easy access to entertainment, dining, and art and history museums.  http://ncph.org/cms/conferences/2012-annual-meeting-3/
